Amplitude × FunCraft

Amplitude x FunCraft, 40% Day 1 retention lift through player behavior analysis

40% increase in Day 1 retention

Slow, outsourced analytics to fast, self-serve insight

Why it works

The story leads with a concrete retention number going up, making Breakthrough the clear primary tag, though the efficiency gain from dropping Tableau and a third-party analytics vendor is a genuine second thread. The competitive switch from Tableau is explicit and named. The mechanism is specific: funnel analysis revealed players wanted easier puzzles, not tutorials, which gave the team a clear action to take rather than a vague data win.

Steal this

Anchor the story on a single behavior-change insight (easier puzzles beat tutorials) that directly caused the metric improvement. It makes the analytics tool feel decisive rather than merely descriptive.
